This year before putting in plants, we decided to stain it again. We used a paint brush in the crevices and rolled it on this time. It went on much better. We did two coats this time and it made a huge difference.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Personal Tips:<\/strong><br \/>\nThree years ago we used a pump sprayer and the sprayer clogged a lot and it just wasn\u2019t a consistent way to apply it. This year we a paint brush in the crevices and roller. It drips (at least on vertical surfaces) and dries quickly, so it\u2019s best to have two people and only work in small sections at a time. Brush and roller was a much better route and it saved us a lot of stain. We could have bought half what we did.<br \/>\nIt does dry quickly and gets sticky, at least in mid July, and it cannot be rolled or painted once that happens, as stated before, cover small sections at a time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Direct Colors Products Used:<\/strong><br \/>\n5 Gal.

After lots of research I ordered a sample of the antiquing stain and sealer. I was so impressed with the ease of this I thought this is a project I can do myself unlike most that I find and my husband has to complete. I ordered the 5 gallon buckets of each and started on a Friday with pressure washing the area. Started early Saturday morning with the stain and did a second coat that afternoon. Finished up on Sunday with two coats of sealer. The ease of this product was amazing. So simple for anyone to do regardless of your diy capabilities. Wishing I had done this sooner. Have received so many positive compliments. Took the concrete back to its original appearance after 19 years of neglect. Makes our pool area so refreshed and modern looking once again.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Personal Tips:<\/strong><br \/>\nIf In a windy area have a second person hold a piece of cardboard to prevent over spray.

If you want more, I can email them. The patio came out amazing. We have sent 4 different people to your website after they saw our pictures on Facebook. Thank you so much\u2014you saved our patio. The patio builder built it last year and sealed it incorrectly with garbage sealer. We spent over $9,000 on the patio, and it looked awful. We searched and searched for a solution to make it look sharp and worth the money we paid. We are so happy that we found your company. We have neighbors coming by to see the patio! Everyone is blown away by the difference.Thank you for a great product! We can&#8217;t believe how the water beads on the patio now after applying your sealer. We never had that with the inferior sealer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Direct Colors<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Products Used:<\/strong><br \/>\nAntiquing\u2122 Stain Trial Kit: Aztec Brown, Black, Light Charcoal<br \/>\nAntiquing\u2122 Stain Trial Kit: Charcoal, Yukon Gold, Khaki<br \/>\n1 Qt.

We had tried to reseal one time, but the product we used was not compatible, and therefore would not &#8220;dry&#8221;. It felt sticky to the touch a month later in the middle of the summer. It was not a Direct Colors product.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Personal Tips<\/strong>:<br \/>\nIf you want to use the acid stain products on your concrete, DO NOT USE MURIATIC ACID TO CLEAN. We must have missed this advice when preparing to do this project. Fortunately, Direct Colors&#8217; Antiquing\u2122 Stain saved the day! Since our porch was a smaller project, we were able to use multiple colors, and got amazing results. We loved being able to restore our front door entryway, which actually looks better now, than when the house was new.<br \/>\nWho knew that watching Bob Ross painting shows would pay off some day?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Direct Colors\u00a0Products Used<\/strong>:<br \/>\nThe base color was Chocolate Antiquing\u2122 which was included in the kit: Chocolate Antiquing\u2122 &amp; EasySeal\u2122 Satin Kit.<br \/>\nThen we used the Buff Antiquing Stain to make the peaks (higher areas) in the stamped concrete visually &#8220;project out&#8221;.<br \/>\nWe then used a combination of the Cinnabar and Aztec Brown Antiquing Stains in the lower areas of the stamped concrete to provide both depth and produce a more realistic stone-like look to the concrete.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_accordion][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; offset=&#8221;vc_col-xs-12&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<hr style=\"border: 0; height: 1px; background-color: #e6e6e6; margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px;\" \/>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;100780&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; onclick=&#8221;custom_link&#8221; img_link_target=&#8221;_blank&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221; link=&#8221;https:\/\/directcolors.com\/contest\/&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_video link=&#8221;https:\/\/youtu.be\/nY-7skMqcWA&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221; title=&#8221;Enter The DIY Contest and Win!&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/\" data-pin-do=\"buttonBookmark\" data-pin-color=\"red\" data-pin-height=\"128\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/images\/pidgets\/pinit_fg_en_rect_red_28.png\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/a><\/p><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;] Black Concrete Stain Outdoor Projects | Real Customer Transformations Dive into our gallery and see how black concrete stain works its magic on outdoor areas!
